BalletX is an intensely innovative and adventurous company that produces sophisticated, striking choreography, expanding the vocabulary of classical dance for all audiences. Recognizing the synergistic power of artistic collaboration, BalletX taps into the creativity and passion of a diverse pool of choreographers. The outcomes are often surprising and compelling. Reviewers agree that BalletX brings a contemporary and sophisticated sensibility to the art form, infusing its work with a new sense of imagination, emotion and intimacy. Philadelphia-based BalletX is recognized locally and internationally as a cohesive company dedicated to commissioning daring work, demonstrating the endless possibilities of ballet and the diverse visions of its artists. Award-winning co-artistic directors Matthew Neenan and Christine Cox actively seek to expand the boundaries of ballet both by choreographing new works themselves and by building a repertoire of works by emerging talents and established choreographers from the national and international dance communities. In just five years, they have carefully built a diverse, dynamic and active repertoire including original choreography by 14 guest artists. They include Jorma Elo, Jodie Gates, Adam Hougland, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Zane Booker, Edwaard Liang, Helen Pickett, Thang Dao, Alex Ketley, and Tobin Del Coure. Performed by dancers with remarkable technical proficiency, the bold and often athletic works challenge and enliven audiences and dancers alike. Learn more at www.balletx.org.
